Fertilizer "dust" on my car...

Conundrum

2006 Accord V6 6spd Coupe
So my car (2006 Accord Coupe 6MT in Graphite Grey) has been parked in the garage most of the holiday break, and my dad has been working on a few things which have involved him moving stuff out of the garage. To make a longer story short, I just went to grab something from my car, and noticed that he must have partially torn open a bag of garden/grass fertilizer, and there is what must be a "dusting" of the stuff all over my car.



Anyhow, I'm just wondering if this "dust" will cause any damage to my paintwork at all? I would just go wash the car, but they are calling for rain in another day and a half, so basically I'd be washing it today and then again in 3 days time. Not to mention that my car is only dusty (both with regular dust and this stuff), so besides that the car isn't "dirty" at all. My only worry is that somehow by leaving this stuff on my paint it might do something to it, or the 2 coats of wolfgang I put on a few weeks ago. Additionally tomorrow I am back at work, so the car will be sitting outside in the sun for the day. In case temperature matters, its only around 30F to 50F here these days.
 
I would think that you should get it off as soon as possible. I would try and find a source of air to blow as much as possible, then wash it. You have to remember that fertilizer melts with water and it is made from all kinds of chemicals and acids. I would try to take care of the problem as quick as you can.
